My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1697

The man hoped that having a child would restore his pride, but year after year, his second wife couldn't bear children.

After three years, the villagers mocked him even more, looking down on him entirely.

Some suggested he visit a temple to pray to the gods. On his way, he encountered a traveling priest who sold him the vial-shaped emerald pendant, claiming that wearing it daily would ensure he had children.

A year later, his wife did give birth to a child, but the baby tragically passed away shortly after birth.

The villagers declared that the man was destined to be childless due to sins from a past life. Unable to bear the shame, he took the pendant and jumped into the river.

The pendant then passed through the hands of many others.

Although its original malevolent aura had dissipated over the years, someone had recently enhanced it with intricate rituals and symbols, strengthening its malicious energy.

Thora grew increasingly anxious as Skylar silently examined the pendant. "Mrs. Martin? Is it just as I suspected? Is this a negative item?"

"It is indeed a negative item. How did you manage to take it from your husband? He must treasure it now and wouldn't let it out of his sight, likely wearing it constantly," Skylar said solemnly.

Over the years, Skylar had occasionally encountered negative items and had been asked to deal with them. However, this particular object was different—much harder to resolve.

Thora was stunned by how accurately Skylar had guessed. "He truly won't part with it, not even while bathing. I've been suspicious for days but couldn't find a chance to take it from him.

"Last night, he drank all night with friends and didn't return home until 8:00 am. That's when I managed to take it."

"I see," Skylar replied with a slight frown.
